Tell the rain not to drop Tell the wind not to blow
Tell the sun not to shine Not to get up this time, no, no But don't leave me where I lay down
It's just something that we do Tell me everything I'm not But please don't tell me to stop
Tell the leaves not to turn But don't ever tell me I'll learn, no, no Take the black off a crow But don't tell me I have to go
Like the open mouth of a grave, yeah Like a calf down on its knees
It's just something that we do Tell me everything I'm not But don't ever tell me to stop
Don't you ever tell me love isn't true It's just something that we do Don't you ever tell me everything I'm not But don't ever tell me to stop
Please don't tell me to stop Don't ever tell me to stop (Tell the rain not to drop)
Like the open mouth of a grave, yeah Like a calf down on its knees
